well in order to serve the proposed single-family residence.
Bidwell Road, Monterey, MA
Job Type: Septic Design and Wetland Delineation
Scope of Work:
White Engineering, Inc. was contracted to design a septic system to accommodate an
addition to an existing single family home. Since it was lakefront property, the project
included wetlands delineation and the filing of a Notice of Intent under the Wetlands
Protection Act as well as a Notice of Intent under the Scenic Mountains Act because of the
steep grades on the property. The site constraints of this property, slopes, small size and
extensive wetlands, represent the kinds of significant challenges in which White Engineering,
Inc. specializes. We were able to secure all necessary permits for our clients.

Deerwood Park Road, New Marlborough
Job Type: Site Design and Wetlands Permitting
Scope of Work:
White Engineering was contracted to prepare site plans for the demolition of three
existing structures and building of one new single-family home with an attached garage. The
proposed work required approval from the New Marlborough Conservation Commission
because wetland resource areas were located within 100 feet of the proposed work. It also
required securing permits from the Special Permit issuing authority for non-conformity with
existing zoning by-laws. These included the bank of Lake Buel and a nearby wetland area.
16
The wetland areas required the submittal of a Notice of Intent. A site plan was prepared and
included the house construction location, septic and well location, grading details, driveway
improvements, bank stabilization details, dock details and landscaping details.
Elephant Rock Road, Monterey, MA
Job Type: Design and Permitting of a Retaining Wall
Scope of Work:
White Engineering, Inc. was contracted to design and obtain permits for a retaining
wall that was constructed in conjunction with the reconstruction of a stone terrace and dock
on the shoreline of Lake Garfield. The site plan included all necessary components of the
waterfront improvements to the retaining wall, terrace, dock and walkways. Since the project
involved a resource area, it required the submission of the Notice of Intent, and a Chapter 91
license from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
Interlaken Road, Stockbridge, MA
Job Type: Driveway Design and Septic Upgrade
Scope of Work:
White Engineering, Inc. was contracted to prepare a site plan that provided
topographic detail of the proposed house and driveway. This required that modifications to
the septic system be made. Due to the proximity of protectable wetland resource areas, it was
necessary to perform a delineation of the wetlands in the area of the proposed driveway,
house and septic system. The edge of the bordering vegetated wetland was flagged in the
field and shown on the site plan. A Request for Determination of Applicability was
submitted to the local Conservation Commission. The components of the current septic
system on the property were modified and upgraded to better suit the owner’s plans.

Maple Hill Road, West Stockbridge, MA
Job Type: Pond Dredging, Design and Permitting
Scope of Work:
White Engineering, Inc. was contracted to provide engineering and wetlands
permitting services to restore an existing Beaver Pond to a scenic pond with open water area
greater than the existing area. The design involved dredging the pond area, constructing a
berm and a spillway type dam and covering the pond bottom with a clay-max type liner. A
dry hydrant was extended to the proposed driveway area above the pond. Due to the
proximity of protectable wetland resource areas to the proposed work, a delineation of the
wetlands in the area of the pond was performed. A topographic survey of the area was
performed including the pond area and wetland boundaries. The topographic survey also
identified the locations of all surface features, property monumentation, and flagged wetland
areas. All necessary paperwork for submission of the Notice of Intent, the 401 Water Quality
